Chapter 13 The sinister Tang Beiwei (please read the big chapter)
"Hey, it's you, what a coincidence."
"Officer Ye, it seems we are really destined."
"It's just that you don't have to work today? Are you dressed so casually?"
Xu Fan just finished the beef soup in one gulp, looked up at the woman in front of him, and joked with a smile.
Today, Ye Xinyi is not wearing a police uniform, but a pair of ripped jeans, a light blue shirt, and her long hair tied up in a high ponytail, giving people a heroic look.
"I have a day off today. I originally wanted to go shopping with my best friends, but I didn't expect to meet Tang Nuxia here."
Ye Xinyi nodded in reply, and sat down without any courtesy, sitting side by side with Tang Beiwei, and shouted towards the store: "Boss, I want a bowl of wontons."
"It seems that Officer Ye often comes here for breakfast?"
Seeing that she looked familiar, Xu Fan asked curiously.
“I’ve been here a few times with friends and it tastes pretty good.”
Although Ye Xinyi answered Xu Fan's words, her eyes never left Tang Beiwei beside her.
"But it looks like you two are planning to go out?"
"Well, my girlfriend has lived in that remote mountain village since she was a child. She just came to the city and is not familiar with it, so I want to show her the world."
Xu Fan didn't hide anything about this.
Otherwise, it would be abnormal for this woman to find any novelty novelty new to her.
When she heard that the two of them planned to go shopping after breakfast, Ye Xinyi's eyes immediately lit up and she said happily: "Then I will go with you too? It just so happens that I can chat with Tang Nuxia... No, it's Xiao Tang Beauty. I have I have so many questions to ask her.”
"Um, didn't you say you were going to find your best friend?"
"My best friend probably hasn't gotten up yet. I sent a WeChat message asking her to stay at home today and go there in the evening."
Xu Fan:…………
Good guy, these women are changing their faces one by one faster than flipping through a book. He has learned a lot today.
However, he did not reject the woman's idea of following her.
After all, if the plan succeeds and makes money later, I will have to take Tang Beiwei to buy a few more changes of clothes and underwear. I can't wear this outfit every day, right? !
As a grown man, he would go to a lingerie store to help choose, which would be a bit embarrassing, and he didn't quite understand what girls like.
If Ye Xinyi is here, she can help more. Anyway, with him around, there shouldn't be any trouble.
But it was obvious that Tang Beiwei didn't take their conversation to heart.
I saw her slowly scooping up spoonfuls of beef soup into her mouth. After finishing a large bowl, she still seemed to be still wanting to finish it.
"How about... I order another bowl for you?"
The corners of Xu Fan's mouth twitched a few times and he said with a smile.
"Since you are so kind, then...then I will accept it."
Only then did Tang Beiwei notice the gazes between the two of them, and suddenly felt embarrassed, but the soup tasted so delicious...
He knew that this woman was saving face, so he didn't refute her and just asked the boss to serve another bowl of beef soup.
Logically speaking, an adult man would be full after drinking two bowls, but Tang Beiwei drank three bowls.
I just spent the few dozen yuan I had left to eat and still had twenty yuan left...
This scene also made Ye Xinyi, who was eating wontons on the side, dumbfounded. She wondered in her heart that this person looked so weak. Can his stomach hold three bowls of beef soup?
Half an hour later, the three of them were all full. Ye Xinyi originally suggested going to Wanhong Square not far away, but Xu Fan took another route and said he wanted to go somewhere first.
Not long after leaving, several people stopped outside a lottery shop.
"You still buy lottery tickets?"
Ye Xinyi looked at Xu Fan in surprise. She didn't understand why this guy came to the lottery shop so early in the morning. Could he be an avid gambler?
"I advise you not to go. These things are all lies and will only plunge you into an abyss."
She said calmly that as a people's policeman, she knew the dangers of gambling.
Even buying lottery tickets is just a gift of money, and over the years it will be a considerable sum.
Xu Fan didn't refute when he heard this, because he almost never bought it on weekdays, but it was different today because there was a humanoid plug-in beside him.
"When we get in later, just use the voice transmission technique to tell me. Don't talk too much."
He pulled the woman aside and quietly warned her.
"Didn't you say you can't use magic at will?" Tang Beiwei frowned.
"Well... today is a special situation, so we can make an exception... Otherwise, I won't have money to buy you new clothes later, and you don't want to... only wear this set of clothes forever, right?"
Tang Beiwei:…………
In the lottery shop, scratch tickets of various types are displayed in the glass display window.
Xu Fan walked up and took a look and found that most of the prices were 5, 10, and 20 yuan, and the maximum bonus was one million yuan.
However, he had no hope at all for those big prizes, or it could be said that the lottery center did not print such big prizes at all.
While he was still watching, Ye Xinyi, who was following behind, pulled Tang Beiwei aside, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Does your boyfriend like to buy lottery tickets?"
"Huh?"
Tang Beiwei was stunned for a while, not knowing what a lottery ticket was at all.
And when Xu Fan brought her here, he just wanted to borrow his spiritual consciousness, without saying anything specific about what to do.
"No matter what, I would like to remind you that these things are all scams. You will definitely lose money in the end if you buy them. You will not win the big prize. You have to persuade your boyfriend not to be addicted."
Ye Xinyi reminded her in a low voice.
It would be okay if it was just for simple entertainment, but she was afraid of falling into it and even getting involved in online gambling. She had seen too many such people...
On the way here, she saw Xu Fan's excitement, and she was worried that he was addicted.
"You mean...he's gambling?"
Tang Beiwei has been practicing for thousands of years, so it goes without saying that she understands the meaning of her words very quickly.
Because there are many gambling and other things like this in Beicang Continent, she has seen several types with her own eyes.
At the same time, I also roughly understood the reason why Xu Fan pulled her over. Could it be that he wanted to use his consciousness to cheat her?
If this method is used, it will definitely not work in Beicang Continent, because the gambling equipment they make can prevent the prying eyes of spiritual consciousness. I wonder if it is the same here?
Just when she was deep in thought, Xu Fan took her arm, took her aside, and whispered: "Fellow Taoist Tang, you do what I say next."
"Are you gambling?" Tang Beiwei raised her eyebrows slightly and asked via voice transmission.
When Xu Fan heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched and he began to explain nonsense:
"Ahem... This can't be called gambling, this is called making money. You also know that we don't have much cultivation now. If we want to live, we always need money, right?"
"You don't want to live on the streets in this world, do you?"
"This..."
Tang Beiwei was speechless by what he said, but it did sound reasonable.
The two looked at each other, with different expressions on their faces from time to time, which made Ye Xinyi on the side look stunned.
I was still wondering if this young couple could still speak with their eyes.
"Is the boss here?"
Xu Fan saw that there was no one in the store and there was an inner room inside. He didn't dare to go in, so he shouted.
After a while, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the inner room.
A slovenly middle-aged man walked out in a hurry, holding up his pants.
"Hey, young man, are you here to play lottery so early?"
The boss stretched out his hand to smooth his greasy hair, which had not been washed for several days. The stubble covered half of his face. At first glance, he thought he had escaped from a lunatic asylum.
"If I don't buy lottery tickets, I'll buy scratch tickets."
Xu Fan had a faint smile on his face and pointed at the scratch-off music in the glass cabinet.
When the boss heard this, he immediately became happy and shouted:
"Looking at the cheerful look on your young man's face, I guess you can win the jackpot."
When Xu Fan heard this, he just smiled and did not answer. He glanced at Tang Beiwei beside him, and the sound transmission between the two was immediately established in his mind.
"I'll buy one later and tell you how to play it, and then you can use your consciousness to help me find the winning one."
With that said, he asked the boss for a scratch-off ticket with a denomination of five yuan.
The gameplay is also very simple. There is a single number scratched off at the top, and there is a row of eight unscratched numbers below. The amount is marked below each number.
As long as one of the numbers below matches the one above, you will win the amount indicated by the number.
After scratching the first one, as expected, I didn’t win.
Ye Xinyi, who had been standing behind her, muttered in a low voice after seeing her: "I've told you..."
This kind of scratch-off lottery sometimes allows you to make a small profit, but as long as you keep playing, you will definitely lose money.
She wants to see how much this guy will lose today. This is called not listening to girls, and he will suffer losses in front of him.
"Don't be impatient, young man, you might win if you buy a few more tickets."
The smile on the boss's face disappeared a bit, but he continued to encourage.
Xu Fan was not in a hurry this time. He held the scratch-off game in his hand and waited quietly for the news.
"If you follow the method you said, the third card in your hand should be a winner."
At this time, Tang Beiwei's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
When Xu Fan heard this, he picked out the winning scratch ticket without saying a word and scratched the number on the top: 5
Then he excitedly scratched out the eight numbers below, which are: 2-4-9-9-2-4-7-1…
Now everyone is dumbfounded, where is my fucking 5?
When he turned his head, he saw not only Ye Xinyi snickering, but Tang Beiwei also looked away.
"Fellow Taoist Tang, what's going on?"
"Um... I made a mistake. It was actually the fourth picture that won."
Xu Fan: "??!"
During the voice transmission, Tang Beiwei's tone was calm, but there was a hint of joy in her eyebrows.
In fact, she said it wrong on purpose because she wanted to see how this guy would react.
When she saw Xu Fan's deflated and sad look, she actually felt a little happier.
She even forgot how long it had been since she felt this way. Maybe it had been so long that she had forgotten it.
